The Ruby Developer Experience team at Shopify has just launched Rubydex, a building block for indexing and (semantically) querying your Ruby codebases. @vinistock.bsky.social has a write up explaining what it is and how it works here: railsatscale.com/2026-05-12-o...

Managed to get Ruby LSP code lenses working in @zed.dev ! :)

At the end of day 2 RubyKaigi, I'll share what's coming in RDoc 8.0 (new parser, server mode, and RBS!), and why Ruby documentation has to work for AI too. #rubykaigi rubykaigi.org/2026/present...

My team is hiring a manager to lead one of our team of engineers working in the infrastructure for the Ruby language and the Rails framework. Come work with us! www.shopify.com/careers/engi...

First Ruby LSP beta got released with partial migration to Rubydex 👀 github.com/Shopify/ruby... Indexing our Rails application (+ dependencies) currently takes 12s with Ruby LSP's internal indexer. Rubydex does it in 2s 💯 And I think it's even doing more work.

Ruby LSP is now an official Claude Code plugin. With it, Claude queries the language server directly - same as your editor does. Without it, Claude reads the file and tries to extract the structure manually.

This is a huge release for TruffleRuby. It’s our first under our new org. If you’ve been hesitant about contributing because of the CLA, please note that we no longer have one. We can also release more frequently so please report bugs or open PRs.

Ruby has a new moving GC. I just merged moving Immix in the MMTk Ruby binding. This is exciting as its the first GC that dynamically detects fragmentation in the heap and performs defragmentation. Performance isn't too great yet but I'm working on it! github.com/ruby/ruby/pu...

#rubyrelease30th I’d like to introduce Aliki, RDoc and docs.ruby-lang.org’s new theme 😄 railsatscale.com/2025-12-22-i...

Finally, www.ruby-lang.org/en/ has a new design.

Ever forget whether it's "change_table" or "alter_table", "remove_column" or "drop_column", "set_column_null" or "change_column_null"? You don't? Well, I do 😄 So, I thought it would be cool if Ruby LSP could autocomplete schema statements in migrations ✨ github.com/Shopify/ruby...

Workspace symbol search on Ruby LSP should be working much smoother now on 0.26.3, @vinistock.bsky.social and I made a bunch of fixes recently 🤘 github.com/Shopify/ruby... github.com/Shopify/ruby... github.com/Shopify/ruby...

Herb v0.8 is here! 🚀 The biggest release yet, packed with new language bindings, Linter Autofix support, Linter Fix-on-Save, a new `.herb.yml` config file, formatter improvements, Tailwind Class Sorting integration, and a ton of performance, tooling and LSP improvements! 🌿

🎉 Incredibly honored to be a Ruby Prize 2025 finalist! Thank you to everyone who has supported my work on IRB, RDoc, debug, ZJIT, and other Ruby projects. See you in Matsue! rubyprize.jp

We just publicly posted about the Rubygems.org AWS root-access security incident from September 2025, what occurred, what we verified, and the actions we’ve taken to strengthen our security processes.

I tried to explain why I don't believe the recent accusations toward my former teammates, as well as how the Ruby and Rails Infra team at Shopify operates and why it can be trusted. byroot.github.io/opensource/r...

Herb v0.5.0 is here! 🌿 Lots of fixes & improvements, plus a new `--github` flag so the Linter can annotate the offenses right on GitHub in the pull request! Plenty more is cooking, which wasn't quite ready for prime time yet 👀

Beyond performance work, I deprecated a bunch of APis in the JSON gem, and added others, so I figured it would be a good occasion to talk about API design: byroot.github.io/ruby/json/20...

ruby-lsp now has CLAUDE.md: github.com/Shopify/ruby... (generated by Claude and vetted by our team) Not sure how much it'll help the team and external contributors but I'm excited to find out 😁

So it turns out all that is needed to support RBS and ruby-lsp on JRuby is for someone to write an FFI binding to the new "pure C" RBS parser! I challenge y'all to make that happen this week. So exciting to get these key Ruby tools working on JRuby! github.com/Shopify/ruby...

I wrote a post to braindump what I'm currently working on: allowing lock-free access to class instance variables from Ractors. byroot.github.io/ruby/perform...

Today, we're announcing plans to make VS Code an open source AI editor. We believe AI development should stay true to VS Code's core principles: open, collaborative, and community-driven. Let's build the future of software development together. aka.ms/open-source-...

BTW, I’ve opened a draft PR for this: github.com/Shopify/ruby... We’re now waiting on a new VS Code API to let extensions configure the MCP connection, which will make the setup simpler & more robust.

My teammate Alexandre Terrasa wrote a great post about using inline RBS with Sorbet. We’ve been slowly adopting it at Shopify. And while we’re still improving Sorbet and all the supporting projects, it’s already working well! railsatscale.com/2025-04-23-r...

@ufuk.dev introducing Ruby Committers on stage at RubyKaigi day 3.

Super excited to get this out of the door! There's still a lot of work to do to match the amount of data we had on RubyConferences.org, but to me it's very clear that this is the way forward for RubyEvents!

1 dia para a @tropicalonrails.bsky.social! Na minha palestra, vou falar de padronização, como ela pode ser usada de maneira estratégica, e como o Rails usa convenções. Na parte de DX, vamos falar de uma nova tentativa de padronização e vou anunciar um protótipo da Ruby LSP. Vejo vocês lá!

PoC: A Ruby MCP server (powered by Ruby LSP) interacting with the Cursor agent. Ruby MCP can provide your project's: - Dependencies - Indexed classes/modules/methods - Runtime info (powered by a Rails add-on) - Anything else supported by other add-ons to the client. Thoughts?

It's an idea my colleague Alexandre Terrasa and the team explored way back in 2020. But due to various challenges we couldn't make it work at the time. Maybe 2025 will be the year to finally make it happen? - 2020 PR: github.com/sorbet/sorbe... - 2025 PR: github.com/sorbet/sorbe...

I wrote down my personal thoughts on whether it's worth removing Ruby's GVL and what it would take. I wanted to talk about Ractors too, but this is already too long, so that's for another time. byroot.github.io/ruby/perform...

I want to write a post about Pitchfork, but before I can get to that I need to share some thoughts. I suspect this one may be more controversial than the optimizing JSON series 😅. byroot.github.io/ruby/perform...

`mise` offers default gems feature. With this feature, it's easy to install ruby-lsp, ruby-lsp-rails and pry gems automatically for all rubies in system.

On this third day of Railsmas: an overlooked treasure for those who think their IDE already has everything. Open your mind, read, and see if you might just think twice about Ruby-LSP as a sign of productivity miracles yet to come. evilmartians.com/chronicles/r...

2024 is the year with the most Ruby talks in a single year, ever! This is the first time we beat the previous all-time record from 2015! Ruby is so back!

What @hsbt.org shared is very important for the whole community. We all need to do our part to ensure that Ruby 3.4 is rock solid. If you maintain an app or a gem, run its CI against Ruby head. Find regressions & report them. Find incompatibilities & fix them in your code. This work helps us all.
